The Stick Worm Phenomenon
Winchester=hard drive? Not a computer person (as you can tell from my
isp) but that would be the *last* association I would make LoL
Several brand names have legally moved into the common domain because
the copyright owners did not do enough to enforce their rights
Common domain meaning everyday verbal usage? I understand a company not
wanting their product name used for profit, but it would be pretty hard
for Bombardier to sue every guy who says to his buddy, "Bring your
Skidoo (whether it be a Polaris, Arctic Cat, Yamaha, etc.) up this
weekend and we'll hit the trails. And bring your Winchester and some
Kleenex. Oh, and Aspirin, too."
